Ripple, new partnership: the blockchain for Finastra’s customers

Finastra, a well-known company dedicated to providing financial services in the banking sector, will use Ripple’s blockchain technology to enable fast cross-border payments. The partnership will allow financial institutions using Finastra’s solutions to make fast and reliable cross-border payments.

Details of the partnership between Ripple and Finastra

Finastra was founded in 2017 by the merger of Misys and D+H and today offers the widest range of financial services software in the world, including banking services, banking operations, loans and treasury.

As many as 90 of the world’s top 100 banks use Finastra’s technology.

Finastra’s solutions focus on growth, cost optimisation and risk mitigation for its customers.

Finastra’s banking customers currently process millions of transactions every month.

As part of its partnership with Ripple, Finastra’s customers will be able to connect and transact with RippleNet’s partners, i.e. with more than 200 financial institutions worldwide.

Users will also be able to send international payments which feature tracking, simple visibility of rates, delivery times and transaction status. They will also be able to use On Demand Liquidity, which uses the XRP token for cross-border payments.
